lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, it is true that ever since 1990, there has been a bilateral agreement still to be formalised by this Parliament, but how is it possible to approve a protocol on the trade in textiles when there remain the alarming doubts so clearly expressed by Mr Cutaş? In the report by the rapporteur of the Committee on International Trade and the Committee on Foreign Affairs, all the various political groups together reached a compromise to express with a single voice our condemnation of forced child labour and our call for the international control bodies, such as the International Labour Organisation (ILO), to be respected, since they have the right to inspect, free from all constraints and threats. The fact that the ambassador has provided no answers and that the Commission itself, after so many years have passed, is incapable of providing concrete, clear and certain answers, means the doubts that have caused concern in our debate in recent weeks still persist. We all know that the volume of trade in textiles between our countries represents a residual percentage. Nonetheless, tomorrow’s vote is symbolic, since it will send out a signal not only to Uzbekistan, but to all our commercial partners in central Asia. International trade is a foreign policy instrument, a guarantor of respect for equitable and shared rules, which are necessary for an orderly and competitive market capable of developing worldwide economic relations, but also of respecting human rights. Parliament does not presume to condemn a country, but wishes, and has the duty, to demand the temporary suspension of approval of the trade protocol until the Uzbek Government allows international observers to enter the country. Once this agreement has been temporarily suspended, we must also address the issue of what our position should be towards any strategic and trade agreement with countries in which there is no certainty of respect for the most fundamental human rights."@en1
